Annotation

It was a great and irreplaceable experience to design a memorial to three revolts on an old abandoned farmstead belonging to a family that took part in all of these revolts. I tried to address this task with respect and humility, because it was assigned by a member of this family. To find the right solution to this task I tried to find answers to questions such as how to incorporate a contemporary piece of architecture in a place that had come to a standstill some time before the Second World War. Or the extent of sanitation of the existing structures with an emphasis on keeping authenticity. Or how to create a suitable space for a memorial in the existing structures while satisfying the 21st century requirements for such a space. The result is thus an inconspicuous wooden new structure directly connected to the existing parts and its contemporary spirit influencing also the interior of the old building.
